With a larger picture it would be easier for us to see and respond. Hopefully you will be able to post one?

Are you serious?????????????

I would love to have a pond full of fish of this quality. White on the face is not a REQUIREMENT it is just helpful in balancing out most patterns on showas. If you have any fish like this that you don't want, I'd be happy to take them off your hands!!LOL

I agree that it is better then pond quality but at the same time....Reflections did not state it was a requirement to have white on the face. He said that the CLASSICAL showa pattern has all 3 colors on the face and that is very accurate I believe.

Welcome to the board Reflections. When you get the time click on User CP in the upper left hand corner and fill in your profile.

Since it is a Hi showa, I would think.
Wouldnt it be pretty much exempt from this concept anyways, because well its a hi showa?
Not sure its actually a hi showa, but kind of looks like one.

No it wouldn't. A hi showa has a heavy red pattern. Therefore a classical hi showa would have a heavy red pattern and still have all 3 colors on its head.

you're confused, uncertain and wrong -- all in one post. That's not easy to do.

Do you have to think about these kinds of posts, or do they just come naturally?
